Numerous romance novels are about love in a small town. But what happens when the couple breaks up? How does the guy deal? How does the girl deal? How do they act when they see each other? In the song, Sam describes the break up from the guy’s point of view: his friends would keep it low key because they don’t know how he would react, they keep their lives in parallel because they live so close, she gets down with someone he knows because it is a small town.

In most instances, you always read about the guy cheating. It’s the guy who was wrong, it’s the guy who was weak and succumbed to temptation. You hardly read about a guy who says no to the woman. It would be refreshing to read a romance about a guy who acknowledges what he has waiting at home for him.

Now, I am terrible when it comes to deciphering music without lyrics, but I would love to see what kind of story would unfold from this song. It sounds beautiful, and longing, yet uplifting. How does she feel? Is it remorse, or is it happiness? What was the cause? No matter which way the story fell, I would read it.

Ah, the power of the lyrics. Why did life start now? Who is it depicting? You will survive it because your life starts right now. It’s like you get a clean slate; all your past is wiped out. A chance to move on, but why?

Describe this dirt road and why it’s amazing. I have been on dirt roads and I know. The way the twist and turn, the way life slows down, the way you can reminisce about the past. Ah. Life is much more simple.

Ok. So really, I was only about to come up with five. But I think, those five would be outstanding books. Especially the first one!
